Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller also adapted a classic novel of extraterrestrial discovery for television — and tonight, we'll get our one and only chance to see High Moon. But also, two incredibly weird comedians are bringing you a new spin on the Twilight Zone. And that's not all television has in store for you this week!

Tonight:

High Moon (9 PM, Syfy):

This "TV movie" is actually the pilot for a series, based on the novel The Lotus Caves by John Christopher. Produced by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), this show takes place in a future where the human race has settled the Moon and is mining it for resources... and then we discover a new life form on our planet's only satellite. And all heck breaks loose. And apparently it includes "a Russian-speaking bisexual double agent robot spy." You can watch the first few minutes above... and feel sad that this won't be an ongoing series.

The Dome has turned dark and then white, it's gotten magnetized, it's caused a plague of insects and a rain of acid blood, and it's created an artificial winter... what's left? Oh yeah. Shrinking. This time around, the Dome is shrinking and people are going to be smushed. It's all because Big Jim threw the Egg over the cliff. Also, Melanie is sick. Why can't the Dome simply tell people what it wants, instead of sending cryptic visions all the time? I'm guessing the answer is "quantum."

Tuesday:

The History of Sex: The 20th Century (10 PM, H2):

A look at 100 years of sexual innovation and weirdness... the history of 20th century sex is in many ways a history of technology, including latex condoms, birth control and new sexology research techniques. So this could be pretty fascinating.

Outlander (9 PM, Starz)

It's the big day! Claire is getting married to Jamie... but not by choice. It's only to keep her from being handed over to the British, because if she's married to a Scot, then she's technically Scottish. But it'll probably still be a lovely ceremony. Right?

Worried about her sister's state of mind, Wendy is determined to bring them back, but knows the dangers of the spells all too well... and is forced to partner with the enemy.
